Why are consevraties so down on gay adoption. The arkansas state legisture just defeated a bill banning gay adoption on the ground that a study conducted by a firm in arkansas said that the adopted children were'nt having trouble with gender identification and did just as well or better than there classmates in school and seemed to be normal children. so why are the conservaties so down on gay adoption when the kids seem to be fine??? isnt that who really matters??? is it because they sterotype homosexuals??? do they think they are all alcoholics who have one night stands all the time and just party??? all the people that i know like that are straight and single straight people are allowed to adopt. the study also showed that the children of single heterosexuals had more trouble in school than those with homosexual parents.

JFK is often praised for his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Did he actually cause the crisis? His botched Bay of Pigs invasion gave Cuba the justification to ask for missiles to protect themselves from invasion. For that matter, his decision to put Bobby in charge of the invasion helped it's failure, especially when Bobby ordered the supporting air strikes at the wrong time, and general uncertainty and incompetence. By scaling back the CIA's original plan, Kennedy left just enough of the plan intact to ensure failure. That failure led directly to the famed "Missiles of October".

It’s clear that Republicans are far too interested, financially speaking, in the Military Industrial Complex to be trusted to run the military. War is a business to Republicans, they get us involved in wars for the sake of more war and more business for their campaign contributors.

How can we possibly trust the Republicans with our military again?

By definition, the Supemem court makes the system less democratic; it can overrule laws passed by the legislative branch, which by virtue of the representatives being directly elected by the people, as opposed to the Supreme Court, whose body is selected by appointment and thus the selection of the justices is less directly tied to the public’s desires....therefore, it is less democratic. Also, justices are appointed, not elected and have indefinite term lengths, so they are more inependent with their policy making.

He needs excused for out of the office for most of the presidential term, as well as obstruction of justice, starting illegal wars, and trashing the constitution.

Very, in my opinion. How can liberals - the alleged defenders of the constitution - support laws which force you to spend extra time in prison for allegedly having thoughts or feelings deep inside of you? A crime is a crime in my opinion - doesn't matter why. In this country of "free speech" how can someone be punished for feelings inside of them? Senseless murder is senseless murder. No matter what the reason is. Doesn't matter if a guy doesn't like gays or doesn't like the shirt someone is wearing. And of course these laws cater only to minorities. Remember when the black basketball player clobbered the white boy and pounded him on the court? No mention of the words hate crime. Or when the older, bigger black boy beat the small white kid on the school bus after teasing him? No mention of hate crime. But, true story, when a local Polish restaraunt was broken into and money was stolen and a few tables knocked over - the media was asking if it was a hate crime. Hysterical.

I'm really wondering . And I don't ask questions about gays , so if you're gonna go on a rant about it , then save it for someone else .
Somebody's answer to another question got me thinking about this . And it does sound logical that if it were hereditary or in our genes so to speak , then just how hard or really easy would it be to prove it ? Cmon now . . take a hundred or a thousand gay people , do a dna analysis and compare to see if there's any consistencies . Right ?
I would love to see reputable scientific studies on this to answer the question once and for all .
Wouldn't you ?

The number of deaths? Loudness, weight? Maybe we need a standardization that is understood by all readers, listeners and media outlets.

How, exactly, does the military of a country which is at war over terrorist attacks using airplanes, "accidentally" sell thousands of military airplane parts and make them available to enemy nations?

The Bible says we are going to be condemed for a lot of things we do, but that doesn't mean we should deny our citizens rights.
Should we ban marriage for those who have commited adultury? Or....... ? pick any sin.
I'm a conservative and I don't like when libs take away my rights, so I try to be careful not to take away others rights. We live in America, where people have rights, even those whose behavior I don't necessarily agree with.
And libs, would you be so kind as to do the same? If you think something is a good idea, great, feel good about choosing it for your life. But let me do the same for mine. Don't force your idea on me just because you think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I am 19, I want to own a gun and learn how to handle it safely but I dont know how to achieve this. When I typed in "New York Gun Laws" into google some said that you cant own a gun in NYC if you are under 21. I am really frustrated because I only want to own a gun because I happend to have brought some dangerous people in my life and I have no way of knowing if they want to break in and kill me or something. I am not parinoid, I am just someone who wants to own a gun for legitamte reasons and there are so many obstacles in the way, if someone has some advice please let me know what to do!!

I have a friend who says that tried to donate blood once and was told she couldn't. She said that it was because she was born in another country (Germany) and her dad was in the military during 1987. Does this make any sense? Why wouldn't she be able to donate blood?

I'm writing a novel, and I was wondering how the main character would get away with a crime she commits halfway through the story.

She doesn't hurt or kill anyone. Instead, she blows up a very expensive, pimped-out luxury car (belonging to another character) in the middle of the night, then completely demolishes any remains.

Also, if she does get caught (still debating whether or not she should) what penalties/prison time/fines she could face.

What is your opion on this a friend forward it to me thought there was alot of debate to this.
Subject: DON'T BUY PEPSI IN THE NEW CAN!
Don't buy Pepsi in the new can. Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can
coming out with pictures of the Empire State Building, and the
Pledge of Allegiance on them.
However, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge--
"Under God."
Pepsi said they didn't want to offend anyone
In that case, we don't
want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office, either!
So if we don't buy any Pepsi product, they will not be offended
when t hey don't receive our money that has the words
"In God We Trust" on it.
HOW FAST CAN YOU FORWARD THIS ONE?

I mean, there's almost a mathematical formula to this that I have detected. To the extent that we make progress, the Democrats' political hopes are diminished. Now, what kind of political leaders position themselves that way so that they only win when their country loses? And what kind of brains do they have to position themselves in such a way so that when we make progress, their political aspirations are diminished?
They're the ones that created this situation. They have aligned themselves with the enemy. They continue to align themselves with the enemy. They won't admit it, obviously. The enemy kills more soldiers, their spokesmen here in the U.S. are the Democrats. When we kill more of the enemy, the Democrats are silent and they say nothing. But when we have reports of, you know, another IED, or pictures of a car on fire -- then the Democrats assume the role of media PR spokespeople for Al Qaeda.

Can it get any worse?
